I Attained Invincibility In The Real World

Chapter 377: 244: Gains and Soul Attributes

Translator: 549690339

“I always feel like something is not quite right.”

Night.

After a day of action.

Chou and Mao regrouped in Bianchuan City.

At the moment when the high-level Godly Humans Association is being restrained.

Throughout the day, their actions had been extremely smooth.

On Mr. Chou’s side, he caught ten.

On Mr. Mao’s side, he caught twelve.

Twenty-two people in total.

Nearly half of these people have strange abilities, and most of them are from the Godly Humans Association.

Moreover,

This is because the previous two days of capture operations have led to the fact that there are not many Heavenly Person Cell Holders left undiscovered in Bianchuan City.

Chou and Mao had to choose to expand outward, even looking for targets in surrounding provinces.

Even so,

This harvest can be described as huge.

Inside the church base in Bianchuan City.

A group of mission targets were put into sacks with only their heads exposed.

Next to each sack, a Holy Sect Personnel stood, keeping an eye on the target’s condition at all times.

To prevent situations like Sun Yi from happening again,

Most of the targets, after being captured, would be given anesthetic drugs by Holy Sect Personnel to ensure that they lose all their ability to act for a short period of time.

Once the target showed any abnormalities,

They would immediately knock them out or inject them with anesthetic drugs again.

At the center of the church.

Chou and Mao stood side by side.

Chou glanced at the sacks on the ground, his face full of worry.

Although today’s operation went very smoothly and the gains were huge,

Compared to the setbacks they faced during last night’s operation, at least they had completed Chen Sheng’s assigned task and could finally report with confidence.

However,

Such smooth progress,

Made Chou feel a strong sense of unreality in his heart.

He joined the Holy Sect and survived to this day after committing a crime more than ten years ago.

Among the Twelve Holy Envoys, Chou’s strength is not considered top-notch, and may even be slightly inferior to some of the lower six during certain periods.

But as time goes by,

Those who were once geniuses, who had no equals at the time, now have grass on their graves taller than Chou.

And Chou still lives well to this day.

The reason for that,

Apart from Chou’s lack of desire and not blindly pursuing power, but only wanting to stay and watch over his own piece of land in Western China Region,

There is another extremely important reason.

That is being timid.

Or more precisely, being cautious.

Whether it is in missions or daily life,

Chou doesn’t mind facing any potential crises with the most cautious attitude.

It is precisely this caution that has allowed him to successfully deal with one danger after another and survive to this day.

“Of course I know something is wrong.”

The Mr. Mao by his side took over the conversation.

With a similar personality to Chou, he naturally noticed this as well.

Although in his task report to Chen Sheng, Mao only cared about flattery and didn’t seem to worry about it,

In his heart, he knew very well how abnormal today’s operation was.

“But this is an order personally issued by Lord Xuanwu.”

“And the danger only exists as a possibility.”

“Are we going to ignore the orders of our lord and be passive because of this?”

His face darkened a bit.

There was a feeling of knowing that a crisis was likely brewing, but he didn’t know what to do about it.

It made him very unhappy.

Hearing this,

Chou remained silent.

His brain worked at high speed, thinking about how to minimize the risk as much as possible.

“In any case, notify each team to be on alert.”

“Starting now, each action must have two teams present.”

“One team is responsible for observation and the other for action.”

“Each team leader holds the magical treasure given by Lord Xuanwu.”

“Once the situation changes, do not hesitate for a moment, use the treasure immediately, understand?!”

Chou’s gaze swept across the Holy Sect followers around him, speaking seriously.

The reason he said this was not that he feared the lives of these Holy Sect followers would be threatened,

But he feared that repeated setbacks in their actions would disappoint Chen Sheng.

“Yes!”

Inside the church, everyone responded in unison.

Seeing this,

Chou looked at Mr. Mao.

The two men nodded at each other.

“Let’s go.”

Under the dim night,

Everyone prepared to return to the Holy Sect’s base and bring the targets they had captured today back to Chen Sheng.

Above the Holy Sect’s base,

Previously, an area of lush, dense tropical rainforest appeared very abruptly as an empty ground.

The ground was littered with broken branches and leaves, making it look as if it had been scoured by missiles.

There wasn’t a single intact tree within a square kilometer radius.

The reason for this disaster,

It was all because of a figure in the center of the open space.

Chen Sheng sat cross-legged, his eyes closed.

Thick green tendons, like old tree roots, sprawled across the surface of his skin.

“Inhale—”

“Exhale—”

His breathing was steady and prolonged.

His body rose and fell slowly with the rhythm of his breathing.

As time went on,

The bulging tendons gradually disappeared.

Not long after,

Chen Sheng took a long breath.

A thick white mist poured out of his mouth, spreading out in an instant.

Slowly opening his eyes,

A rare trace of fatigue flashed across Chen Sheng’s eyes.

After a night’s time,

He had just barely adapted to the pain caused by his body’s enhanced strength.

At least,

He wouldn’t be like before, wanting to destroy everything unchecked.

Only,

Even though his physical strength became more and more abundant as time went by,

Chen Sheng did not feel his condition recovering.

He hadn’t experienced the feeling of being mentally exhausted in a long time.

He even suspected that if he closed his eyes again now, he might fall asleep right away.

This made Chen Sheng realize,

Even if he has a way to quickly enhance his spiritual power, he cannot force the transformation of his body too quickly.
